So, that last mission was something, wasn't it? Yeah. For those who don't know me, hi. I'm Jason. Nice to meet you.

Anyway. I know everyone's busy with, well. That last mission and stuff. [He's good enough not to say "WE ARE PLOTTING THE OVERTHROW OF THE UP" at least.] But I've got our next camping trip lined up. I think you'll find it cool.

It's underground again, sorry about that. But hear me out. Soola Noona. It was this mine, right? They were harvesting crystals for pies... piezo-whatever. Harvesting crystals to power machines. Put them under pressure and they generate electricity or something like that. [Barry would probably correct him.] Anyway, turns out that these crystals have some unique harmonics or something, they vibrate at soothing frequencies, so about three hundred years ago they shut down the mines, stimulated the crystal growth, and turned the entire mining rig into a vacation retreat.

They've got singing crystals to promote a calm environment, therapeutic hot springs, some untouched cave systems if you want to go spelunking, modern amenities, the works. I think we'll be able to chill out a little there. We can get to know the new people, the new people can learn some about us, and we can do some of the same team building stuff we did the last few times.

And Hiccup, before you ask, the place was designed so that cargo ships could dock to load up, so there's room for Toothless to stretch his wings.

I figured they wanted to be sure it was really me they were sending it to.

I dunno how it works here, but that's the info you need to get a credit card back home.

Maybe, but what kind of jerk would just steal your information like that?

Jason, there are a lot of jerks out there.

[Holy carp, dude.]

Well, yeah, but do you really think that someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

[Nita does not Know Her Meme.]

Uh, yeah? Prolly even more than in real life 'cause they don't have to make eye contact.

[Sadly, neither does Jason.]

I'm not even sure what to say about that.

Not everyone's a nice person, Jason.

[Says the...well, probably second or third nicest person in the Legion.]

...Jason, i hate to tell you this, but it happens a lot. Sometimes they're subtle, sometimes they're incredibly obvious.

Nigeria doesn't even have royalty, for instance.

Is that why they stopped responding when I offered to show up with some lawyers to help hash things out?

That would be why, yes.

Ooh, the first job my team ran involved Nigerians!

Actual Nigerians. Who the mark thought were fake Nigerians. It was great.

...You're adorable.

[Parker sounds completely, 100% sincere. Because she is.]

It's a thing bad guys do sometimes.

But if it's his social security number from back home, would it even work here?

I don't really know how Social Security numbers work, to be honest.

[She's not an American citizen and Atlantis is. Atlantis.]

They might not even look the same anymore. Like, if they're twenty digits long now or something...

You'd think after 1000 years they'd just scan your DNA or something.

Yeah, now that you mention it...

This is the kind of thing where we should probably ask someone local to clear it up.

[She is making no attempt to do so. Or even to space Google it.]

Paging somebody who knows about space identity theft!

[ Yeah, that's about as much effort as he's putting into this. ]

I'm mostly just concerned about making sure he doesn't keep doing this when he goes back home.

Okay, good point.

I'm 16. No one's gonna give me a credit card.

[A moment.]

17. Forgot I had a birthday for a moment.

That doesn't mean that info can never be used.

I know it doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but identity theft is a serious problem by my time. The internet's going to be a fact of life a couple of years in your future. I just want to make sure you're careful with the kind of information you share online.

Huh. I guess you've got a better idea on these things than me. I'll keep an eye on it in the future.

Thanks.
